In the remote hinterland of New Caledonia, one of She larger is- lands of the South Pacific, an el- derly English spinster is having (he time of her life today, biasing a trail through unexplored jungle. Chid in sensible woollen stock- ings and knickerbockers, 68 years- old Miss Evelyn Cheesman has be- gun another of her insect safaris, headed for an insect "lost world" lodged 5,000 feet up in the dark and challenging mountains. When her superstitious native bearers tremble at the risk of en- countering devil-devils or falter at the prospect of meeting the primi- tivi bushmen, she goes forward alone, just to rally their confidence by proving she is tambu, or devil- proof. She has been treed by wild beasts, lost in the swamps, watch- ed and followed by cannibals. Once, when her native boys were too scared of ghosts to stay with her, she even slept in the bush alone, comfortably curled beside the bra- zier she uses to trap eight-inch motiis. Once, as she was wading up a stream in the Cyclops Mountains of New Guinea, a torrential thund- erstorm turned the river-bed into a sudden tumbling flood. Half- deafened by rhe noise of the water over the boulders, absorbed in the insects in the shallows, she did not hear the boj's' warning shout, and the force o{ the water-bore swept her from her feet. N'arrowly miss- ing a rock, siie caught at a loop or overhanging vegetation, climbed into it and clung there for hours. Insect-hunting on the little known island of Waigeu, she re- cently spent months on a steaming mountainside in a hut sketchily built of tree branches and tarpaul- ins. The thunderstorms lasted fif- teen >oiirs a day and every storm brought swarms of huge biting fl'es and midges, lighting for shel- ter. Characteristically she reported with enthusiasm that they included several new types. - .Vo other woman â€" a:id few men â€" can have endured such consistent hardship, discomfort and danger for the sake of strange beetles and bugs, fiics and fleas. In the library of the Royal En- tomological Society the experts speak of her with respect as a lead- ing woman scientist who has helped close some of the widest gaps of knowledge in mankind's ceaseless war on the predatory insect world. There was the time when, climb- ing on to a narrow ledge on a 3,000-foot precipice, she found her- self face to face with a python. "It was a shock to ns both," she admits. Then she swiftly realized the baneful effects if her timorous bearers ca\ight sight of the snake in a region reputedly haunted by six-legged serpents. Kicking a piece of wood, she hit the snake on the head. It drew back sharply into the deepest shadows under a heap of faded branches. By that time her boys were beside her and sat innocently on the branches for a smoke. Every time she looked she could tee the bright shining eyes oi the snake. "The boys laughed happily when they taw me smiling,'' Miss Chees- man commented. "If only they had known! " Ag.uTi. on the enchanted isle of Erromanjia, the natives prepared a feast in her honour. To her horror she found that the main dish con- sisted of black bats roasted in leaves. When she pleaded for tinned herrings instead, her hosts were so tearful that she changed her mind. "We saved the plumpest bats for you," they 'explained. Miss Cheesman asked only that the bats should be beheaded and then summoned courage for the first bite. It was quickly followed by surprise. "They were deHcious," she says. "Tender-fleshed with a game flavour like duck." First White Woman Seen In Dutch New Guinea she ven- tured into regions where a white woman had never been seen. From the thatched inland villages She women flocked and asked her to let down her "grass" (her hair). Miss Cheesman cheerfully complied â€"in return for the jewel-like beetles they wore ae necklets. Strangely enough, Evelyn Chees- man had scarcely set foot out of England before she was forty. She oonfesses that a youth spent in hard work and study had landed her high and dry as Curator of the lasect House at the London Zoo. Versed in ttM ways of ererything that crawled, sIm learned to handle â€" and even asflli â€" black wWow spideri and otkcr horroes.

Of course, nothing would suit her but to go inland. Inside the Secret Huts Patiently she overcame the bush- men's suspicions, making friends from one village to the next. The beating jungle drums told (rf her coming. Ultimately she was per- mitted to see the sacred huts where the tribes kept the skulls and bones of their enemies and then, in hit hilltop village, she met the dreaded I Ringapat himself, king of the can- ; niba Namba tribe. Never willing to overdraniatize her experiences. Miss Cheesman I reports that she found him "amus- ' in." In the end she gained Ringa- pat's conridence to such an extent that he brought out one of his i most cherished possessions and showed her his frying-pan. Now, he I'xr'ained, he ate "all the same as a white man." Evelyn Cheesman tells tne story herself in her vividly exciting book, "Camping Adventures on Canni- bal Islands". As a loyal subject, promising not to eat white men, Ringapat wanted to send his frv'ing- pan to King George. Miss Chees- man persuaded him to part with an ancestral poisoned spear instead. Vet Miss Cheesman in turn re- ceived her own tribute on her last trip when she made a canoe jour- ney down the New Guinea coast into mandated territories. She was amazed at the crowds of natives. "They liave come to see you," her navigator beamed. "They have come to see the woman who walks in the jungie!" layout square. .^I&o included is a aarbon-steel blade deeply etched on cither side of the lop with inch and metric rules, and, at the tip, a sur- fs-?t incision point to permit surface cutting without necessity of boring holes.

In one test last winter at a concentration of 8.000 parts per million in fuel oil, brush failed to produce any leaves in the spring, it is reported. Fann- ers will profit from dormant spray- ing, according to company spokes- man, because they car spray wlien they are least busy with other farm chores and without risk to sensitive crops that may grow near the brush to he sprayed. â€" v^ tmt IN > \ HANDY \ ^ BOXES> FOR INSTANT THROAT RELIEF FOR QUICK RELIEF BEYOND BELIEF...
